Page 100: 03 Rock Forming Minerals Properties

Large botryoid of aragonite (A) from a stalagmite from Madagascar. Dark area in botryoid (red double-pointed arrow) is due to extinction of vertical crystals in cross-polarized light. Termination of crystals in right side of A against smaller cluster at right (a) suggests that the smaller cluster grew first and blocked growth of A in that direction. Black areas (V) are void space; truncation of aragonite crystals (e.g., white arrow) suggests that some or much of that void space is the result of dissolution of aragonite.

Carbonates Mud

Definitions:

• Micrite - An abbreviation of “microcrystalline calcite”. The term is used both as a synonym for carbonate mud (or “ooze”) and for a rock composed of carbonate mud (calcilutite). Micrite consists of 1 to 4 µm-diameter crystals and forms as an inorganic precipitate or through breakdown of coarser carbonate grains. Micrite is produced within the basin of deposition and shows little or no evidence of significant transport (Folk, 1959).

• Microspar - Generally 5- to 20-µm-sized calcite produced by recrystallization (neomorphism) of micrite; can be as coarse as 30 µm (Folk, 1965). Restricted to recrystallization products, not primary precipitates.

• Pseudospar - A neomorphic (recrystallization) calcite fabric with average crystal size larger than 30-50 µm (Folk, 1965).

Page 109: 03 Rock Forming Minerals Properties

Keys to Petrographic Recognition:

1) Modern carbonate mud consists largely of the breakdown products of organisms (due to decomposition of organic binding materials and abrasion or maceration of shells). Macroscopic algae (especially green algae) are major contributors of needle-shaped, mud-sized, aragonitic particles in tropical platform and platform margin settings. Modern inorganic aragonitic precipitates, in the water column or on the seafloor, also are needle-like (with individual crystals typically 3-5 µm in length) and may contribute to carbonate muds.

2) The calcitic micrite of older carbonate rocks was neomorphically formed from mixed mineralogy precursors to form an equant mosaic of 1- to 4-µm crystals. The precursor material acted as detrital particles and so may show geopetal fabrics, scattered coarser particles, and other indications of mechanical sedimentation. Inclusions or molds of precursor minerals may be seen within micritic calcites (especially using SEM).

3) Neoformed microcrystalline cement and microbial precipitates may show clotted or peloidal fabrics and can grow in any position within interparticle pores or larger cavities (non-geopetal fabrics).

4) Microspar and pseudospar typically have patchy distributions grading into normal micrite; crystal outlines tend to be elongate (loaf-shaped) or have irregular, sutured boundaries).

Scholle, 2003

Page 110: 03 Rock Forming Minerals Properties

Carbonate mud (micrite) fills the lower part of the cavity while sparry calcite fills the upper part — the contact indicates an approximately level surface at the time of deposition

Here replacive calcite spar has embayed the originally smooth margins of a reworked (and thus substantially lithified) micritic intraclast

precipitated spar (the clear, coarse spar) and microspar formed by neomorphism of micritic matrix

sparsely fossiliferous micrite consists of a mix of nannoconids and other micritic material, including other finely comminuted skeletal particle

Page 111: 03 Rock Forming Minerals Properties

Micrite & Sparite

Micrite

Carbonate mud is termed micrite (0.03-0.04 mm)

Micrite can also form as a cryptocrystalline cement in certain circumstances.

Because of this it must be used with care as an index of depositional energy.

In conclusion, it would appear that lime mud, micrite, can form by a variety of processes.

Cement.

By definition this applies to crystal- line material that grows within the sediment fabric during diagenesis.

The most common cement in limestones is calcite, termed "spar" or sparite

Other cements in carbonate rocks include dolomite, anhydrite, and silica.
